Wow! We have been lax about posting haven't we?? We knew it had been a while, but we didn't realize it had been quite so far back as Halloween. Well, we'll try to catch you up on all we've been doing ...
Well, let's see ... we had a nice Thanksgiving and a great Christmas. We saw Santa at Wal-Mart a couple of weeks before Christmas ... I sat on his lap -- David was being ornery and wouldn't. David participated in his school music program -- his class sang really nicely! 2 weekends before Christmas, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hill's for our annual cookie making day.
We didn't do too much over break which was kinda nice. We did go to Grand Rapids one day and spent time with our friends the Keillors. We went to a place called Craig's Cruisers ... think Chuck E. Cheese only nicer :-) I really liked riding in the go carts with mom. We got lots of great Christmas gifts and had a great time hanging out with all our cousins. One of our favorite gifts were the digital cameras we each got!!
On January 5th we went to our cousin Brandon's house and celebrated his 3rd birthday -- that was fun, and the ice cream cake was AWESOME!!
Last weekend we met Grandma and Grandpa Hill, Uncle Ron, Aunt Christie and Brandon in Saginaw to watch the Shrine circus. It was neat to see all the animals and acrobats. Mommy and I even went on an elephant ride!! Mom's posting a bunch of pictures from all these things to our Picassa account (reminder for those of you who receive the blog in your email, you'll have to log into the blog itself to get to the link for the pictures ...) most of the pictures she took at the circus didn't turn out -- taking pictures in large arenas like that is hard, plus they had the lights out a good share of the time. We kept only the best pictures, and even some of those aren't that great :-)
This week is off to a lazy start ... we didn't have school yesterday so the teachers could do some "Professional Development" (mommy and daddy like to translate that into "a wasted day"), today we are enjoying our 5th snow day of the year. While having a day off is nice, we are thinking it would be nicer to be at school ... we would rather be there now than in June. We got well over 6 inches of snow last night ... it's piling up out there!
Well, I think that just about covers what we've been up too ... we hope you are all staying warm.
